Our seminar has come to an end! We would like to say a big thank
you to all active participants of the seminar - students, lectureres,
authors, guests. Especially valuable, to our minds, has been the
participation of the authors of the discussed articles.
Our online experiment has not always been an easy experience
with regard to technical, social and communicative difficulties.
Anyway, we hope you enjoyed the experience and got some interesting
insights into Russian Internet culture and web theory!
Group works dedicated to Russian web resources in Germany and
to flashmobs in Russia are starting in the next weeks. Results
of the group works will be presented on the seminar homepage
somewhat in autumn 2006. Stay tuned :) !
